Congratulations You Are Under Arrest!

Chapter 247 Is this a lie? (Da Zhang asks for a monthly pass)

The eight or nine-year-old blond boy in front of him was named Yuni Popov, and his missing sister was named Nova Popov.

In the morning, the shelter had already asked all over the place, and no one had seen his sister today, and the person in charge of the shelter just took the little boy Yuni to the police station in the nearby Edogawa district for this matter. After registering the missing person, he went back to the shelter without any further details.

The police officer who received him in the interrogation room of the police station looked at the face of the little boy Yuni, and then heard that the other party was an orphan who was exiled from the Grand Duchy of Shayash in the north to the Wano country shelter, and his attitude was obviously perfunctory. a lot.

After all, in Wano country, there are too many cases of people disappearing every year. Some of them are either missing or temporarily running away from home. If all the people in the police station are dispatched immediately after receiving the case, there will not be so many police resources.

Taking a step back, even if there is, the priority of these police resources must be those missing children in the country who are eagerly urged by their parents in the police station.

If this is not done properly, those parents may use various channels to make the police station unable to live in peace.

But children like Yuni and Nova who came from the disintegrated Grand Duchy of Shayash have no father, no mother, and no one cares.

Or. Really can't find it.

At this moment, seeing Yuni standing nervous and uneasy at the door, he glanced up at Xia Li in front of him from time to time, as if this was the only life-saving straw he could find his sister.

Damn human traffickers.

Higashinohara cursed inwardly.

From Yuni's description, his sister Nova, who lives with him in New Tokyo, has a very normal mobility and intelligence. Even if she goes out on weekdays, she will not forget the way home, and she will not leave the shelter without authorization. After all, there is no place for her there. Dependent brother.

And Nova also has a mobile phone on her body, so even if she really gets lost or encounters normal trouble, she can call her mobile phone for help.

Now that this is the case, all Higashinohara can think of is human traffickers, and Nova is indeed the first choice of those people.

Thinking of this, Higashinohara's eyes drifted to Charlie again.

The little boy Yuni contacted her according to the contact information of the Aragaki Detective Agency, and regarded her as the last straw for her sister.

If Xia Li refused, it would be difficult for the little boy to find his sister in any other way.

Maybe in the morning when the morning mist is like today many years later, he will think of his sister who disappeared in the morning mist that day, and then once again hate himself for being weak and incompetent at that time.

But will Tianhu girl Xia Li refuse?

It's so deceiving!

Slap the slap!

soon!

Charlie patted the small square table on the tatami with one hand, and said with righteous indignation:

Shouldn't the people in the shelter be responsible for every child? And the bastards from the police station, are they trying to wait for the case to expire? It's so deceiving!

After finishing speaking, Charlie turned around and said to Yuni seriously, Don't worry! Since my detective Charlie found out, she won't let it go, and we promise to help you find your sister.

Really?

Yuni's sulky little face suddenly lit up, staring at Charlie excitedly.

His sister was the only support he had in this world after his parents died in the chaos of the revolutionary army.

He hurriedly lowered his head and flipped through his pockets for a while, and finally took out a small stack of crumpled green banknotes and handed them to Charlie with a blushing face.

Higashinohara glanced at it and found that it was the currency once issued by the Grand Duchy of Shayash, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

The Grand Duchy of Shayash has long since disintegrated, and the paper money that this little guy took out is almost the same as the Ming Coin.

With a blushing face, Yuni seemed to know that these were worthless, and whispered, Sister told me that we can't buy delicious food with our money, but this is all I have. Mom told us to hide. It only gave us these, oh yes!

Yuni's big olive green eyes suddenly lit up slightly, and he took off the little gray schoolbag he was carrying, and put it on the ground for a while.

In the end, he took out a few bullet casings and glass balls, which were considered treasures by children, and held them in front of Xia Li more solemnly than before, and said reluctantly, These. These are my most precious things.

Of course you should keep the most precious things yourself. Before he could finish speaking, Charlie interrupted him.

Shaking the green banknotes of the Grand Duchy of Shayash in her hand, she said proudly, That's enough, your entrustment, my name is Detective Charlie, don't worry, we will definitely help you find it. Sister's, isn't it, Higashino-kun?

Um?

What the hell is Higashino-kun?

Tonohara was stunned for a few seconds.

Immediately, he coughed dryly, and nodded slightly in the eyes of Yuni's expectation.

A very happy smile suddenly appeared on the latter's face, and it seemed that he breathed a sigh of relief at this time.

Even though Yuni is young, he is only nine years old, but he has gone through such drastic changes that ordinary people can't imagine, such as the collapse of the country and the upheaval, and his mind is far more mature than ordinary children.

There were four people in this room. From the moment he entered the door, he saw Higashinohara, who was sitting on the tatami mat facing the master of the door, and Kolotia, who was next to him, added food to him from time to time, and the one next to him was about his age. The Nishimaru Pear is also dominated by Higashinohara.

Even if she acts recklessly and likes to brag about herself, Yuni has noticed that every time this big sister with long ears on her head says a word, her eyes will occasionally glance at the big brother sitting in the main seat. Just like how he behaved in front of his sister Nova, he immediately knew who the talker was.

Now the speaker nodded, of course he was happy.

Naturally, Higashinohara didn't know that he had become a talker in the eyes of the little boy Yuni. He nodded, and it was definitely not possible to make money.

Even if Xia Li gave half of the small stack of banknotes to Higashinohara, Higashinohara would have no value except for commemorative purposes.

The value of the collection after a few years? At that time, whether the descendants of the Grand Duchy of Shayash were still talking about it.

The reason why Higashinohara agreed is that, on the one hand, he had the experience of Nishimaru Miri last year, and he has always hated human traffickers.

On the other hand, the [Evil Handbook] in his mind would probably also be open to these human traffickers.

Speaking of which, the triggering task of [Sin Manual] is completely random, and the sin value is only a reference, and there are no specific rules.

But the crimes of these human traffickers are definitely worth a lot of money. If they can be caught along the line of Yuni's missing sister, they can try once while saving people. There is no reason for Higashinohara to refuse to kill two birds with one stone.

At this time, seeing Higashinohara nodding, Xia Li, who was holding her face, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Now the unscrupulous uncle Satoru Aragaki of the Aragaki Detective Agency doesn't care about anything at all, retreating behind the scenes to be a charterer, and Xia Li is taking care of everything in the agency.

But it's okay for her to track and vote for an extramarital affair. After all, the client has provided a specific name and route. As a girl, she doesn't have to worry about being regarded as a idiot, and tracking is effortless.

But the current situation is that they don't know anything about the missing Nova except for the photos and limited personal information provided by Yuni.

If Higashinohara didn't nod, then Charlie might be a bit of a Muggle.

At this moment, Charlie immediately came up and asked excitedly, What should we do now, Higashinohara?

It can be seen that the famous detective Xia Li was also panicked after the investigation of the extramarital affair for so long, and now there is finally a big case.

Now how to do?

Higashinohara looked at the Yanmo Shouxi Pot grumbling on the table, and then looked at the little boy Yuni who was standing opposite the table with a rumbling stomach, and sighed, What else can I do, let's eat first. .

As soon as she heard the food, Charlie didn't get excited. She went over to give Yuni a bowl of rice, and then moved her butt to Higashinohara's side, giving Yuni a little bit. Location.

Yuni looks rather introverted, and is very embarrassed when he sees it, but he can't hide his rumbling stomach from everyone, so he can only sit timidly on the corner of the table with his butt on his back.

Let's eat first, and then you will have the strength to find your sister when you are full! Xia Li knew how to comfort and enlighten others. From the way she looked, she knew that she must have been enlightening herself too much.

After sitting down, Yuni, who had been bowing his head, heard that he was looking for his sister, so he barely regained his energy. He picked up his chopsticks and took two bites, but it was rare to see him hissing.

This is the Flame Demon Shouxi Pot.

The little guy is not afraid of spicy?

Higashinohara took two glances before reacting.

It's not that I'm not afraid of spicy food, I'm afraid I've never eaten something so delicious. It seems that life in an overseas juvenile shelter is not easy.

After eating, Kolotia removed the pot and cleaned the dishes, and Charlie took Higashinohara to discuss how to help Yuni find his sister Nova.

Although Higashinohara is not a famous detective, he has strong logical thinking ability and knows what it means to follow the vine.

The current vine is not in the police station, and it is estimated that there is no case yet, but in the shelter where Yuni and Nova live.

Yes!

Charlie clapped her hands, her eyes flashing with a burning light, That shelter is so irresponsible and accustomed to it, this is definitely not the first time the child has been lost, maybe they are still colluding with someone outside!

Looking at Charlie's conspiracy theory, Higashinohara shook his head.

No gossip, since he decided to help, Higashinohara said hello to Kolotia after eating, changed his clothes and was ready to go out.

In the corridor, Xia Li and Yuni were all ready to go.

Unexpectedly, Nishimaru Miri also changed into a small brown suit at some time, wearing a pair of black round-toed leather shoes, and her golden wavy hair wandered in the sun with gorgeous colors.

What? You want to go too?

Uh-huh!

Nishimaru Miri nodded decisively.

Tonohara hesitated.

Then I thought that Nishimaru Miri, like him, had been bored at home for many days during the spring break, and did not neglect exercise on weekdays.

There is a great chaos in Wano country now, and it is impossible for me to protect her all the time in the future, so it seems good to take the opportunity to experience it.

Okay, let's go together. Higashinohara nodded immediately.

Nishimaru Miri's small face suddenly became happy, showing a very happy look.

Higashinohara has always acted alone, and rarely takes her with him.

The person who is always protected wants to do even the smallest things for the person who protects her.

Edogawa District is located in the northeast of New Tokyo. Together with Adachi District and Katsushika District, it is also known as the Three Brothers of Shimachi. It is separated from Chiba Prefecture by a wide river [Edogawa], which is quite different from the style of the new Tokyo metropolitan center. A different living area of ​​the common people.

In layman's terms, the prices here are low, the rent is very cheap, and the transportation is not very convenient, but the crime rate is quite high. Even some wealthy people in New Tokyo think that Edogawa area is the capital area, but it is not. Belonging to New Tokyo.

The overseas juvenile shelter is located near Koiwa Ayame Garden in Edogawa Ward, a few streets away from the Aragaki Apartment where Higashinohara lives.

Higashinohara and Xia Li rode the landlord Aragaki Satoru and her own small motorcycle, respectively carrying Nishimaru Miri and Yuni, and arrived at the juvenile shelter after a while.

It was a small courtyard on the second floor that looked like a nursery school. When Higashinohara and Charlie parked their cars and knocked on the door, they could hear the noise of children playing from time to time through the door and the walls.

The person who opened the door was an aunt in work clothes, about fifty years old, and it was a little strange to see Higashinohara and Charlie standing outside the door.

They are all homeless and parentless children from abroad. Under normal circumstances, few people come to visit, not to mention that Higashinohara and Xia Li are locals at first sight.

But at this moment, she looked down and saw Yuni hiding behind Charlie, she was stunned for a moment and then reacted.

Higashinohara stepped forward to explain the situation to the other party, and Charlie stared at the other party from behind.

She determined that there might be a problem with the shelter, and she was ready to be polite after being rejected by the other party.

But unexpectedly, the shelter did not refuse their visit and was very kind.

The elderly aunt quickly led them into the reception room of the shelter, and made tea for them before leaving.

Xia Li glanced at the tea, hesitated for a moment, picked it up and smashed it, then suddenly leaned her head and asked in a low voice, Dongye, is there any medicine in this tea?

The corners of Higashinohara's eyes twitched, but he didn't speak.

Do you dare to drink if you suspect that you are taking medicine?

After a while, the head of the shelter walked in.

It looks like a woman in her thirties, dressed in simple clothes, and looks very amiable and kind.

When she came over, the children playing in the yard stopped to call her aunt when they saw her. She was very popular with children.

Charlie was a little taken aback.

In her imagination, the person who came in was a vicious person who would be difficult to deal with at first sight.

With a strong sense of justice, she will definitely strike hard. After finishing one set of Tianhu Six Forms, there is no problem with two, two, three, or four.

But the woman in front of her had a gentle temperament, with a faint feeling of Colotia, and the children also liked her very much, which made Xia Li a little passive.

Fortunately, Higashinohara had never preconceived that there was a problem with the shelter, so it was no surprise at this time.

After sitting down and saying hello, he asked in detail when Yuni's sister disappeared this morning, when did the shelter find out, and whether Nova had been bullied recently.

After some questioning, Higashinohara asked in silence, So Nova had a conflict with a girl named Xia in the shelter two days ago, saying that she will leave here one day?

The woman sitting opposite smiled helplessly, Well, many children heard it at that time, children of this age have strong self-esteem and are prone to conflicts, although I called them to mediate once after the incident, the two little girls They all shook hands and made peace, but I didn’t expect that Nova would suddenly leave the shelter today.”

Higashinohara glanced at the dumb little boy Yuni in the corner. He didn't seem to know that his sister Nova had quarreled with someone a few days ago, and his eyes suddenly panicked, like a puppy who was afraid of being abandoned.

Higashinohara retracted his gaze, continued to look at the woman opposite and said, Then what do you mean, Nova ran away from home?

I can't guarantee it.

The woman shook her head and said helplessly, It's just that a similar situation happened before the shelter. Some children came back by themselves at night or at most the next morning, but some children... alas.

She sighed and did not continue.

Higashinohara looked at the woman's expression, it didn't look like she was lying.

In fact, put yourself in their shoes and think about it. Their job is to take care of so many children, or they are foreign children with different eating and living habits. It is not easy to be able to make so many children like her.

Seeing that he couldn't ask anything else, Dong Yeyuan nodded, got up and said, Excuse me, thank you for taking the time, then we'll go first.

Seeing this, the woman also got up and said goodbye, and said that if Higashinohara and the others found news of Nova, they must contact her as soon as possible.

When she went out, Xia Li seemed a little embarrassed because she had been imagining the other party to be a vicious villain. She turned her head and bowed solemnly. She hurriedly turned her head and almost bumped into the door frame.

This second-hand

The corners of Higashinohara's eyes twitched.

He sighed and glanced at the children playing on the slide in the yard.

He suddenly had an idea in his mind, ready to ask any child who is Xia, and find the other party to verify what he just said.

A child in his teens, his mind is not yet mature, it is difficult to lie in front of him.

Unexpectedly, just as he was going out, Nishimaru Miri, who was following behind, quietly pulled the corner of Tonohara's clothes.

Higashinohara turned his head,

He glanced at Nishimaru Miri with some doubts.

However, Nishimaru Miri turned back and quietly pointed to the woman in the room behind her who was cleaning the tea set herself, and said in a low voice, Big brother, she lied.

lied?

how do you know?

It stands to reason that Higashinohara should have asked this question.

But he didn't ask that.

Because Higashinohara recalled the ability of one of Nishimaru Miri's double talents.
